Poll: What was the Obamateurism of the week?

Hot Air ^ | April 5, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

[RobinMasters]

I’ve been having my fun all week long, and now it’s your turn. On Sundays, rather than publish a new Obamateurism of the Day, we’ll take polls to discover which Obamateurism Hot Air readers liked best, or in this case, maybe found most embarrassing:

[cripplecreek]

He pulled a nice one last night by reminding the citizens of Prague that America is the only nation to have used a nuke.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

All I know is that Ed or Michelle need to give Allahpundit some wall-to-wall counseling.

[EscapedDutch]

So many options...

[Daveinyork]

If he is, as I think he is, based on his associations with Wright and Ayers, the Manchurian candidate, then none of this is amateur, but is deliberately intended to take America done a notch or two.

[snowsislander]

It's clear to me that the most historically shocking event, by a wide length, was the Kenyan's cur's prostration.

No previous occupant of the White House has done anything similar, and he has earned his place in the race for the most ignominious act.

[OCCASparky]

But there are so many to choose from: bowing to the Saudi Crown Prince, giving the Queen an iPod (lemme guess—forgot the 240-volt charger), losing his place on the teleprompter, taking FIVE questions and only from staffers/plants at his news conference, kissing the collective asses of our enemies at the G20...it staggers the imagination, really.

There ... fixed it ...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

There’s a new one today where he says that not only is America exceptional, but so is England and Greece, ie, we are all exceptional. Doesn’t that just make us all feel just great.

[The_Media_never_lie]

He pulled a nice one last night by reminding the citizens of Prague that America is the only nation to have used a nuke.

I cannot believe that even Obama said this. I will have to google it to believe it.

[cripplecreek]

Oh he said it alright. They were playing some of his Prague speech on the news when I got up this morning.

[Nachum]

Hmmmm...

IMHO... it is a tie. It would be between:

and

Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod

[cripplecreek]

"As the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act,"

And other gems of wisdom.

And we have an obligation to our common prosperity and our common humanity to extend a hand to those emerging markets and impoverished people who are suffering the most, even though they may have had very little to do with financial crises, which is why we set aside over a trillion dollars for the International Monetary Fund earlier this week, to make sure that everybody -- everybody -- receives some assistance. (Applause.)

Now, to protect our planet, now is the time to change the way that we use energy. (Applause.) Together, we must confront climate change by ending the world's dependence on fossil fuels, by tapping the power of new sources of energy like the wind and sun, and calling upon all nations to do their part. And I pledge to you that in this global effort, the United States is now ready to lead. (Applause.)

[bigbob]

I agree.

However I think the last clip, where he emits a slew of his usual verbal diarrhea in response to a simple question (which of course he never answers) shows him as he really is. The Chris Matthews of the world hang onto his every “eloquent” word, but if you actually listen, most are superfluous and are simply multi-syllable versions of “uh”. His attempts to think on his feet clearly show the difference between “being smart”, i.e. speaking from the basis of knowledge and true belief, and “sounding smart”, i.e. regurgitating meaningless pap.

Obama telling France, Germany and the rest of the EU to “admit” muslim Turkey to full EU membership - over the top arrogance

[YankeeReb]

Didn't he say something to the effect this past week about getting Iran or one of the other rouge nations to halt production of nuclear weapons by the US reducing its arsenal? I only caught that one statement in passing and was stunned to hear it but, nobody in the news media picked up on it. I may have misunderstood Urkel though.

[cripplecreek]

From reading through (slogging actually) his Prague speech, it appears that he wants America and Europe to live on solar and wind power as he encourages Iran to develop peacefull nuclear technology.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Barry 0 Bowed Low
To A Saudi King
A US Citizen No-No.

The thoughtless, tactless gifts, the TOUCHING of The Queen of England, all pale in comparison to the Genuflect Barry gave to the Moslem King Abdullah.

Catholics genuflect to Christ Jesus, their Heavenly King.
Barry 0 genuflected to the head of another nation, a Moslem whose nation has the ‘sacred places’ of Muhammadanism.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that All Men Are Created EQUAL . . . except Barry 0 doesn’t believe that. He thinks that he is subservient to a Saudi King.

I do believe this is an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.

God Help The USofA.

[TheConservativeParty]

No way! That bastard. He’s a traitor. No wait, he’d have to be a natural born American to be a traitor, then he’s just a plain old bastard. sigh.

[verga]

Do you have a ping list?
If so Please put me on it.
